President Trump took to the air last night on prime-time television to deliver his first televised national address to Americans from the Oval Office of the White House, to explain why the partial government shutdown is necessary to secure $5.7 billion dollars to fund the border wall.

In an unprecedented move, the three major TV networks limited President Trump’s speech to only 8 minutes. The networks initially hesitated to air the President’s speech at all because they feared he would say the wrong thing. Either way, I wasn’t tuned in.

Trump urged the American people to support his battle with the Democrats for border wall funding. “This is a choice between right and wrong, justice and injustice,” he said, describing border security as “a crisis of the heart and a crisis of the soul.”

Trump said Black and Hispanic Americans were hardest hit by the immigration crisis. He said migrant women and children were “victims” of lawless gangs and human smugglers who raped 1/3 of women on the way to the U.S.

“These children are used as human pawns by vicious coyotes and ruthless gangs,” he said.

Trump said drugs and crime coming across the border endangered American lives.

The current shutdown began on December 22, and is estimated to cost the American taxpayers $6.5 billion per week.

President Donald Trump called former FBI director James Comey an ‘untruthful slime ball’ and ‘a PROVEN LEAKER AND LIAR’ who ‘should be prosecuted’ for putting classified information in view of the media.

James Comey is a proven LEAKER & LIAR. Virtually everyone in Washington thought he should be fired for the terrible job he did-until he was, in fact, fired,’ Trump wrote on Twitter. ‘He leaked CLASSIFIED information, for which he should be prosecuted. He lied to Congress under OATH.

Trump’s extraordinary tweet, an unprecedented moment in American history, came after excerpts from a televised interview were broadcast on national television, with Comey saying it’s ‘possible’ the most salacious detail in the anti-Trump ‘dirty dossier’ is true. Comey said in advance of next week’s high-profile book release that despite having access to the nation’s most sensitive law-enforcement intelligence for years, he still can’t dismiss the possibility that Trump was involved with ‘golden showers‘ a sex act with prostitutes five years ago in Moscow.

The ‘golden showers‘ accusation first came to light in an unproven dossier of opposition-research material paid for by the Democratic Party and the Hillary Clinton campaign and handed to the FBI during the 2016 presidential campaign.

Comey said he never told Trump that his political adversaries had funded the work, but warned him during a ‘really weird’ post-election meeting that the information was circulating at the top levels of the federal government.

‘It was almost an out-of-body experience for me,’ he said. ‘I was floating above myself looking down saying, “You’re sitting here briefing the incoming President of the United States about prostitutes in Moscow”.’

Comey suggested the claim was still unproven but hedged his bets, saying only that ‘when I got fired it was unverified.’ Which is probably why Trump fired him.

He said he never told Trump that he didn’t believe it ‘because I couldn’t say one way or another.’

Social media is all abuzz about President Donald J. and First Lady Melania Trump’s body language, during the inaugural festivities. Social media outlets and blogs are carefully analyzing the photos and video footage taken throughout the day and at the luncheon (pictured below). Their body language appears to be appropriate for the occasion.

Mrs. Trump appears to be an obedient, submissive wife to her husband, who happens to be the most powerful man in the world. Although the media is speculating that the First Lady looks terrified. She knows her role and she stays in her lane.

After video of this meet and greet was released, it’s obvious that the new president needs to work on his gentlemen skills, as the women on “The View” so adamantly pointed out.

Wearing thee hell out of a pale blueRalph Laurendress and matching jacket, Melania was elegant, perfect and pristine for the occasion. While several designers refuse to dress her, Ralph Lauren reportedly welcomed the idea, despite the negative impact it could have on sales.
